_fpreset().prg not found

[shangrilla]

I have declared this in my main.prg

Declare _fpreset in MSVCRT40.dll

but on and off I get this error saying _fpreset().prg not found.

In my code i use it like:

=_fpreset()
if repFormat = 'text'
.....
endif
if repFormat = 'word'
....
endif
if repFormat = 'pdf'
...
endif
=_fpreset()

Is there anything else I need to add.

Declare _fpreset in MSVCRT40.dll

Declare (value fo function return... INTGER)
_fpreset in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSVCRT40.dll

ALSO are you sure the function is correct in its name. captiols is importen in the name

what are you using MSVCRT40.DLL for??

Attitude is Everything

 

[shangrilla]

so it should be all caps like =_FPRESET()

what are you using MSVCRT40.DLL for??

I read in this form that -fpreset() helps to release printer hang up problems and avoid printer freeze problems. MyApp generates reports, one after another so i am using this as a precaution.

Depending in what version of MSVCRT you have, that is the one that should be declared


DECLARE _fpreset in MSVCRT && I use this for an NT4 (Terminal Server)

DECLARE _fpreset in MSVCRT20 && For a wondows 95 system

Do a search on your system, and you may find a few, just use the lates one (the highest number).

=_fpreset()

Is use to cleanup a printer's floating point (specially HP printers that crash *C5* in the midddle of a print job)
